First of all you guys should be using dark mode already. I have a firefox extension that does it on all sites automatically. How tf do you live with that blinding white flatscreen in your face?
I mostly deal with it by not browsing the internet in a cave. I get some natural light. You know, pull back the curtains on those windows and let the sun shine in.
It works wonders for many hours of the day. After the sun sets... well, I too have an auto dark mode extension. It turns dark mode on a few minutes after sun set.
Ruffle :D
An open source Flash player emulator. I definitely recommend it because I also contribute to it. But it’s great, if you stumble across any old websites using Flash games or animations, you can just continue to play and watch them with it :D
That’s cool. Will this ever be needed and/or usable on Android - idk much about Flash except that it’s no longer supported but still somewhat popular because of it’s past and capabilities.
It is usable on Android. Websites can embed Ruffle in their backend, then everyone can just visit the website and play the flash game / watch the flash animation without installing anything at all. If you play many browser games, chances are good you’ve already used Ruffle. And that goes for mobile browsers as well; I can even play flash games on Safari on my iPhone if the websites embed it.
I’m not sure about if / how you can install the extension (which you can use to access all flash content, even if the websites themselves didn’t embed it) on mobile browsers, but I think that there is a Ruffle app for Android, and a demo page used to execute any swf (flash) files.
However, most flash games are made for computer and some may even require mouse hover events or something which just doesn’t exist on any mobile phones. So while Ruffle works there, the flash games of course also need to be playable with a touch screen.
